Production

Princeton will create original resource descriptions for a representative selection of items in the Derrida collection that include personal dedications addressed to Derrida. The items with dedications were significant to Derrida: he filled several rooms with them, stored in alphabetical order by author. The relationships encoded in these dedications will allow project participants to produce an RDF data set that can be used by scholars who are interested in studying Derrida’s social and intellectual networks.

Objectives

•  Evaluate existing ontologies and models, specifically BIBFRAME and the Web Annotation Data Model

•  Work with the RBMS Bibliographic Standards Committee and Cornell University Library to define an extension ontology (RBMO) for the description of rare materials

•  Transform and convert EAD data and MARC records into BIBFRAME for a representative selection of items in the Derrida collection

•  Create original or enhanced RDF descriptions for items in the previously identified subset of the Derrida collection that contain personal dedications

•  Prototype a lightweight, standards-based online editing tool for linked data creation and enhancement
•
